after surgery

I had a surgery done in June (BREAST N TUMMY TUCK) I had a little of infection on the outside after one of the drains was taken. I want to see my primary dr. She send me an antibiotic (CLINDAMYCIN 300 MG) and told  me that I had to get my stitches remove from my redo belly bottom it was reddish  and it had pass 20 day after the surgery. Am almost 2 month since my surgery my belly bottom  look a little better, but still have some redness , and am getting some bother around my area  stomach, or some burning sensation here and there. Am also feeling this bothers around my breast. When I take off my compression garment for a bath I can tell am still sore from the tummy tuck.I just had a small skin remove nothing major. Now I would like to know if this is normal. How long does this bothers normally take. Will I be ok.

With the exception of your minor infection, your post-op course seems normal at this stage of the healing process.
